♏Correspondences of Scorpio

Obsidian · Iron · Oxblood and black · Myrrh and patchouli

The stone, metal, color, and incense the old traditions set against Scorpio.

Mars's iron returns for Scorpio in oxblood and black, the colors of depth and the threshold, with obsidian — the mirror-stone that faces the shadow — and myrrh and patchouli, resins of the deep and the sacred dark. The lore reflects a nature drawn to truth beneath the surface, and to the power in what is hidden.
